The Thargoid discussion thread now with extra Thargoids !!!
oh, cool. didn't know elite had aliens. looking forward to that.
what would be even better is if the vision of one of the devs will become a reality: giant space worms that eat asteroids.
(this was in one of their youtube videos. nothing really official, just things the developers would love to see ingame. maybe it was a hint of what's to come, maybe it was just and idea, i don't know.)

I'm very leery of this. Are these things going to be more powerful than pythons or are they more of a threat to cobras? Just don't like the thought of regular $4 mil insurance payouts just because I went from point a to point b. If the chance of attack was high enough it would turn trading unprofitable which based on the forums I'm sure many people want.
Are the Thargoids going to be the great "credit regulators" of this game keeping people in smaller easily maintainable ships?

What would be fantastic is if you do happen come across Alien races you would be able to use their ships and tech, and even make available new tech for exisiting ships and shipyards.
In the original NO running away you fight or die.
I wonder how they will be introduced. A cool way, other than some random player finding their homeworld or whatnot, would be that some "mysterious" sightings have been spotted in sector "X and Y". This could show up on the news channel at the stations. This would be an awesome introduction to what might be a small scouting party of aliens before the big invasion happens 
The Thargoids are coming!
They are plotting, waiting for their next victim at the right time. They hide in the clouds that whiz past you during hyperspace travel, ready to pop out at any moment. You can sometimes hear them behind your seat when you're out in deep space on idle, ready to swing their claws at you. They are watching us.
Be careful in your explorations far outside of colonized space, commanders.

This is exactly why Onionhead is illegal.
After F:FE I love the thargoids just wish the Warship was available as a playable ship like in F:FE

Suspect they'd pop up in V1.5 or V2.0 (or the like) in 3-6 months. Could be used to give the game a second wave of PR/sales.
I was thinking more in how they'd be introduced in-game!
Ohhhh!
Worse case - A new interdiction mechanic in hyperspace
Better case - Something far more interesting involving seeing them at times in SC and possibly having to take action before being interdicted by them etc.
Best case - Something even more story driven including systems being overtaken by them and involving conflict zones and the like.

It'll be like the Cylons from the BSG series reboot. Not a peep for years then....
